16



 

law or in equity.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Purchaser waives any right to pursue any other remedy at law or equity for such default of Seller, including, without limitation, except as provided in the preceding sentence, any right to seek, claim or obtain damages, punitive damages or consequential damages.  Nothing in this Agreement shall, however, be deemed to limit Seller’s liability to Purchaser for damages or for attorney’s fees and costs as provided in Section 16.6 below except as set forth in Section 16.6.

 

ARTICLE 11

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

11.1                           Seller’s Warranties and Representations.  The matters set forth in this Section 11.1 constitute representations and warranties by Seller which are now and (subject to matters contained in any notice given pursuant to the next succeeding sentence) shall, in all material respects, at the Closing be true and correct.  If Seller learns of, or has a reason to believe that any of the representations and warranties contained in this Article 11 may cease to be true and correct, Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser (which notice shall include copies of the instrument, correspondence, or document, if any, upon which Seller’s notice is based) and, in such event, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to Seller, without recourse against Seller; provided, however; Seller cannot act voluntary in a manner which would cause a representation and warranty to become materially incorrect or inaccurate.  As used in this Section 11.1, the phrase “to the extent of Seller’s actual knowledge” shall mean the actual current knowledge of Jeff Pearson, with respect to water and sewage issues only, Robert Webber, Ryan Churchill, Gary Planos, Dan Ligienza and Adele Sumida whom Seller represents to be the representatives of Seller having the responsibility for the management and sale of the Golf Course and accordingly the individuals responsible for being informed of matters relevant to this Agreement.  There shall be no duty imposed or implied to investigate, inspect, or audit any such matters, and there shall be no imputed or personal liability on the part of such individuals.  To the extent Purchaser has or acquires actual knowledge prior to the Closing Date that these representations and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, Purchaser may proceed to Closing without reduction in the Purchase Price and without recourse against Seller for such misrepresentation, in which even such representation or warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Purchaser’s actual knowledge.

17



 

instrument to be executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection therewith will, when executed, be valid and enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

11.1.3                            Proceedings.  To the extent of Seller’s actual knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation or similar proceeding affecting any part of the Golf Course.

11.1.5                            Leases.  Except for the Restaurant Lease, Seller has not entered into and has no actual knowledge of any other leases or other agreements (whether oral or written) affecting or relating to the right of any party with respect to the right to occupancy of the Real Property or any portion thereof.

 

11.1.6                            Compliance.  To the extent of Seller’s actual knowledge, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental authority that the Golf Course is not in material compliance with all applicable laws, except for such failures to comply, if any, which have been remedied.  To the extent of Seller’s actual knowledge, the Golf Course is in material compliance with all applicable permits, approvals, licenses, certificates, covenants, conditions, restrictions, leases, easements and agreements of any kind or nature affecting the Golf Course.

 

11.1.7                            Litigation.  To the extent of Seller’s actual knowledge, Seller has received no written notice of material litigation pending with respect to the Golf Course which will affect Seller’s ability to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or could materially affect the use, value, marketability, operation or development of the Golf Course.

 

11.1.8                            Bankruptcy.  There has not occurred the making by Seller of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the filing against Seller of a petition to have Seller adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of the interest of Seller in the Real Property, or the attachment, execution or judicial seizure of substantially all the assets of Seller or the interests of Seller in the Real Property or any legal proceeding in which Seller is adjudicated as being, or stipulates to being, insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they come due.

 

11.1.9                            OFAC.  Seller is in compliance with, and, to extent of Seller’s actual knowledge, all beneficial owners of Seller are in compliance with the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed Reg. 49079 (September 25, 2001) (the “Order”) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and in any enabling legislation or other executive orders in respect thereof (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation, or orders are collectively called the “Orders”).  Neither Seller nor, to the extent of Seller’s actual knowledge, any beneficial owner of Seller:

ARTICLE 12

 

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

 

Promptly upon learning thereof, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of any condemnation, damage or destruction of the Real Property occurring prior to the Closing together with, in the case of a casualty, a reasonably detailed estimate of the cost to repair the damage or destroyed Real Property prepared by a third party engineer or contractor retained by Seller.  If prior to the Closing all or a material portion of the Real Property is condemned, damaged or destroyed, Purchaser shall have the option of either (i) applying the proceeds of any condemnation award or payment under any insurance policies (other than business interruption or rental loss insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing) toward the payment of the Purchase Price to the extent such condemnation awards or insurance payments have been received by Seller, receiving from Seller an amount equal to any applicable deductible under any such insurance policy or the amount of any uninsured loss, provided Seller has not terminated this Agreement in accordance with this Article 12, and receiving an assignment from Seller of Seller’s right, title and interest in any such awards or payments not theretofore received by Seller, or (ii) terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller and Escrow Agent within twenty (20) days after Purchaser has received written notice from Seller of such material condemnation, damage or destruction and, if necessary, the Closing date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full twenty (20) day period to make such election.  If, prior to the Closing, a portion of the Real Property is condemned, damaged or destroyed and such portion is not a material portion of the Real Property, the proceeds of any condemnation award or payment and any applicable deductible under any insurance policies or the amount of any uninsured loss, provided Seller has not terminated this Agreement in accordance with this Article 12, shall be applied toward the payment of the Purchase Price to the extent such condemnation awards or insurance payments have been received by Seller and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in any unpaid awards or payments.  Seller shall not settle any insurance or condemnation claim with respect to the Real Property following the Effective Date without first receiving Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  For purposes of this Article 12, the term “material portion” shall mean (A) damage that will cost in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), or will take longer than six months, to repair, or (B) condemnation that results in a taking of any of the Improvements, any parking spaces, any ingress or egress or any other portion of

 

23



 

the Real Property which, in each case, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, would materially affect the use, value, operation or legal compliance of the Real Property.  If the damage or destruction arises out of an uninsured risk and the reasonable cost for repairing such damage or destruction not covered by insurance exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Seller shall elect, by written notice within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such damage or destruction either to terminate this Agreement or to close the transaction contemplated hereby with a reduction of the Purchase Price equal to the costs of repairing the Real Property, as reasonably estimated by an engineer engaged by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

CONDUCT PRIOR TO CLOSING

 

13.1        Conduct.  From and after the date hereof, Seller shall operate and maintain the Golf Course in accordance with its standard business procedures (including, without limitation, making vacant units rent ready in its normal course of business); provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to make any capital expenditures.

 

13.2        Actions Prohibited.  Seller shall not, without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed:  (i) make any material structural alterations or additions to the Real Property except as (a) in the ordinary course of operating the Real Property, (b) required for maintenance and repair or (c) required by any of the leases or the Contracts; (ii) sell, transfer, encumber or change the status of title of all or any portion of the Golf Course; (iii) change or attempt to change, directly or indirectly, the current zoning of the Real Property in a manner materially adverse to it; or (iv) cancel, amend or modify, in a manner materially adverse to the Real Property, any license or permit held by Seller with respect to the Real Property or any part thereof which would be binding upon Purchaser after the Closing.

 

13.3        Confidentiality.  Seller and Purchaser shall, prior to the Closing, maintain the confidentiality of this sale and purchase and shall not, except as required by law or governmental regulation applicable to Seller or Purchaser, disclose the terms of this Agreement or of such sale and purchase to any third parties whomsoever other than investors or prospective investors in Seller or Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender, or the principals of the Broker, Escrow Agent, Title Company, Purchaser’s advisors or consultants and such other persons whose assistance is required in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, or to governmental agencies if and to the extent required to verify the zoning and entitlements of the Real Property.  Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall at any time issue a press release or otherwise communicate with media representatives regarding this sale and purchase unless such release or communication has received the prior approval of the other party.  Purchaser agrees that all documents and information regarding the Golf Course of whatsoever nature made available to it by Seller or Seller’s agents and the results of all tests and studies of the Golf Course (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”) are confidential and Purchaser shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any other person except those assisting it with the analysis of the Golf Course, and only after procuring such person’s agreement to abide by these confidentiality restrictions.  This Section 13.3 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

13.4        Right to Cure.  If any title defect or other matter which would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement shall arise prior to the Closing or if Seller shall have breached any representation or warranty hereunder, Seller may elect, by written notice to Purchaser, to cure such

 

24



 

title defect or other matter by causing it to be removed, insured over or bonded to cure such breach or cure such breach of any representation or warranty hereunder, and Seller may adjourn the Closing for up to twenty (20) days to do so in which event Seller will give Purchaser not less than five (5) business days notice of the date of Closing.  Nothing contained in this Section 13.4 shall require Seller to cure any such title defect or other matter or to incur any liability or expense to do so except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

 

13.5        Additional Information.  Promptly after receipt thereof, Seller shall provide copies to Purchaser of any written notices received by Seller from any governmental agency, which notices relate to the Golf Course or the ownership, management, leasing, maintenance, repair or operation thereof.  Within ten (10) days of generating or receiving, as applicable, any new Golf Course operating statements or updates of existing Golf Course operating statements, Seller shall deliver copies thereof to Purchaser.

THIS LEASE (the “Lease”) is made and entered into effective March 27, 2009 (the (Effective Date”), by and between TY MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, a Hawaii corporation, whose address is c/o Carlsmith Ball LLP, One Maui Plaza, Suite 400, Wailuku, Hawaii 96793-1086 (“Lessor”), and KAPALUA PLANTATION GOLF LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company, whose address is P.O. Box 187, Kahului, Hawaii  96733-6687, (“Lessee”);

 

In consideration of the agreements hereinafter set forth, Lessor and Lessee do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Premises.  Lessor does hereby demise and let unto Lessee, and Lessee does hereby lease and hire from Lessor, that certain real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference commonly known as the “Kapalua Plantation Golf Course”, together with all buildings and other improvements located thereon, and any rights, easements or appurtenances belonging to the same or held and enjoyed in connection therewith, subject, however, to the encumbrances set forth in said Exhibit A (hereinafter collectively called the “Premises” or the “Golf Course”).

 

2.                                       Term.  This Lease shall be for a term of two (2) years (the “Term”) commencing on March 27, 2009 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on March 31, 2011 (the “Termination Date”), unless such term shall be sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

 

3.                                       Quiet Enjoyment.  Upon payment by Lessee of the rent, additional payments and all other charges to be borne by Lessee as set forth in this Lease, and upon Lessee’s observance and performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter contained, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises for the term hereof without hindrance or interruption by Lessor or any other persons lawfully claiming by, through or under Lessor, except as expressly provided in this Lease.

 

4.                                       Rent.  Lessee shall pay to Lessor at its address set forth above in legal tender of the United States of America, without any deduction, notice or demand except as otherwise set forth herein, an annual net rent of FOUR MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,000,000.00) in monthly installments of $333,333.00 each payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each month during the Term prorated for partial months.  If the monthly rent payment is not received prior to the tenth (10th) of any month, or any other charge or additional rent due hereunder shall not be received when due, then a late fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount due which shall be due Lessor from Lessee within ten (10) days of written demand therefore.

 

5.                                       Additional Payments and Expenses To Be Borne By Lessee.  In addition to the monthly rent set forth herein, Lessee shall pay the following:

 

a.                                       Real Property Taxes and Assessments.  Lessee will pay directly to the taxing authority before delinquency, all real property taxes and assessments of every description assessed against the Premises that Lessor or Lessee in respect thereof may be assessed or become liable, whether assessed to or payable by Lessor or Lessee, during the term of this Lease, pro rated for periods prior to the Commencement Date and as of the Termination Date.

 



 

b.                                      Utility Charges and Service.  Lessee will pay, before delinquency, all charges for potable water, irrigation water, gas, sewer service, refuse collection, electricity, telephone, cable television, and other utility and similar charges arising from the use of the Premises.  Lessee acknowledges that sewage treatment for the clubhouse is provided through a sewage treatment plant (“STP”) located on a portion of the Premises and that Lessee shall be responsible for all costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the STP during the term of this Lease.  Unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, Lessor shall not be responsible for any interruption or failure in the supply of any utilities to the Premises.

 

c.                                       Tax on Lease Payments.  In addition to the rents reserved above, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, together with each payment of rent or any other payment required hereunder which is subject to the State of Hawaii general excise tax on gross income, as it may be amended from time to time, or any successor or similar tax, an amount which, when added to such rental or other payment (currently 4.166% of each such payment), shall yield to the Lessor, after deduction of all such tax payable by Lessor with respect to all such rent and other payments, a net amount equal to that which Lessor would have realized from such payments had no such tax been imposed.

 

d.                                      Other Taxes.  Further Lessee shall be responsible for and shall pay before delinquency all municipal, state or county taxes assessed during the term of this Lease against it by reason of the conduct of its business in the Premises or with respect to personal property of any kind, owned by or placed in, upon or about the Premises by and/or at the expense of Lessee

 

e.                                       Security Deposit.  Lessee, contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, has deposited with Lessor the sum of $333,333.00 to be held by Lessor as security for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease by Lessee to be kept and performed during the term hereof.  The security deposit may be commingled by Lessor with other funds of the Lessor and shall bear no interest.  If, at any time during the term of this Lease, any of the rent herein reserved shall be overdue and unpaid beyond applicable cure periods, or any other sum payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid beyond applicable cure periods, then Lessor may, at the option of Lessor (but Lessor shall not be required to) appropriate and apply any portion of said deposit to the payment of any such overdue rent or other sum.  In the event of the failure of Lessee to keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Lessee beyond applicable cure periods, then at the option of Lessor said Lessor may appropriate and apply said entire deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to compensate Lessor for all loss or damage sustained or suffered by Lessor due to such breach on the part of Lessee.  Should the entire deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by Lessor for the payment of overdue rent or other sums due and payable to Lessor by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall, upon the written demand of Lessee’s, forthwith remit to Lessor a sufficient amount in cash to restore said security to the amount held by Lessor prior to such appropriation and application and Lessee’s failure to do so within ten (10) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute a default hereunder entitling Lessor to immediately invoke the remedies set forth in paragraph 35, including the termination of this Lease.  Should Lessee comply with all of said terms, covenants and conditions and promptly pay all of the rentals herein provided for as the same fall due, and all other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder, the said deposit shall be returned in full to Lessee after Lessee shall have vacated the Premises at the end of the term of this Lease or upon the earlier termination of this Lease.  In the event any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other creditor-debtor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Lessee, the security deposit shall be deemed to be

 



 

applied first to payment of any rents and/or other charges due Lessor for all periods prior to the institution of such proceedings, and the balance, if any, of the security deposit may be retained by Lessor in partial liquidation of Lessor’s damages.  Lessor may transfer and/or deliver the security, as such, to any purchaser of Lessor’s interest in the Premises and thereupon Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.

 

6.                                       Guaranty.  This Lease and the terms, provisions and obligations contained herein, including, without limitation, on completion of the Irrigation Work, will be guaranteed by Maui Land & Pineapple, Inc. a Hawaii corporation (“Guarantor”), pursuant to a guaranty agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

7.                                       Acceptance Of Premises.

 

a.                                       Premises in “As Is, Where Is” Condition.  It is expressly understood and agreed that Lessor has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding any aspect of the Premises including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, suitability, habitability, quality, physical condition, value or profitability, and Lessor hereby disclaims any and all liability for any and all such representations and warranties.  Lessee agrees that it has examined and investigated the Premises prior to the execution of this Lease and that Lessee has relied solely upon such examinations and investigations in leasing the Premises.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee acknowledges that (x) it has made all inspections, investigations and analyses deemed necessary or appropriate to determine compliance by the Premises with all Hazardous Materials Laws that may apply to the Premises, and (y) Lessor has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, concerning the Premises’ compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it is leasing the Premises in its “as is, where is” condition, with all faults, if any, and subject to termination rights described herein, that Lessee has assumed all risks regarding all aspects of the Premises, and the condition thereof, including, without limitation:  (i) the risk of any physical condition affecting the Premises including, without limitation, the existence of any Hazardous Materials, the existence of any soils conditions, or the existence of archeological or historical conditions on the Premises; (ii) the risk of any damage or loss to the Premises caused by any means including, without limitations, tsunami, flood, earthquake or volcanic eruption; and (iii) the risk of use, zoning, habitability, merchantability or quality of the Premises or the suitability of the Premises for its use.  Except as otherwise described herein, Lessee expressly releases Lessor from any and all liability and claims that it may have against Lessor, its successors and assigns with regard to Hazardous Materials presently existing or hereafter placed on the Premises, and Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims and demands for loss or damage, including claims for personal injury, property damage or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with a release by Lessee during the Term of Hazardous Materials in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws (collectively, “Lessee Hazmat Liability”).  Lessee shall not be responsible for any Hazardous Materials released in, on, under and about the Premises by Lessor (collectively “Lessor Hazmat Liability”).  Lessor shall be and remain liable for all, Lessor Hazmat Liability, on, under or about the Premises, and for all clean-up and remediation thereof.  Lessor shall and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessee and Lessee’s members, officers, directors, agents, employees and invitees from and against any and all claims, lawsuits, liabilities, costs, fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and expenses of every kind and nature relating to or rising from a Lessor Hazmat Liability.  The provisions of this paragraph 7 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

 



 

b.                                      Adjacent and Nearby Property Uses.  Lessee, for itself and any person or entity claiming by, through or under it, understands and acknowledges that the Premises are adjacent to or nearby lands used for the operation of a pineapple plantation and other agriculture related activities and such other uses as may be permitted by law on said lands, and that Lessee desired and sought the Premises with the understanding that the Premises may be affected by nuisance or hazards to persons and property from such operations and related activities.  Lessee covenants and agrees for itself, its permitted assigns, transferees, and any other party claiming by, through or under it that it assumes all such risks associated with such location and that it shall defend and hold Lessor harmless from any liability, claims or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, property damage, personal injury, or wrongful death arising from such operations and activities, and further covenants and agrees that the owners and occupants of such lands shall have the right, in the nature of an easement, to perpetually discharge, emit, diffuse, and inflict over and upon the Premises noise, smoke, soot, dust, lights, noxious vapors, odors, and other nuisances of every description arising from or incidental to the operation of the foregoing and other activities, subject only to zoning and other legal restrictions on use.

 

8.                                       Use; Continuation of Golf Course Operations By Lessee.  Prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was the owner of the Premises and used the Premises for the operation of the 18-hole championship Kapalua Plantation Golf Course, including a clubhouse, pro shop, driving range, practice facilities and a subleased restaurant operation (the “Golf Course Operations”).  Lessee shall continue to use the Premises during the term hereof solely for the Golf Course Operations and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld by Lessor in its sole discretion.  In connection with Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises, Lessee agrees as follows:

Other Maui and Lanai golf courses which in addition to the Golf Course are agreed to meet the Golf Course Standard as of the date of this Lease are the Challenge at Manele, the Experience at Koele, the Royal Kaanapali and the Wailea Gold golf course.

d.             Inspection.  Lessor and its agents shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect the Premises during normal business hours following 48 hours’ prior written notice to determine whether Lessee is complying with the provisions of this paragraph 17.  If Lessee is not in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 17, Lessor shall have the right to immediately enter upon the Premises to remedy any contamination caused by Lessee’s failure to comply notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease.  Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Lessee’s business but shall not be liable for any interference caused thereby.

Sec. 12101 et seq. or any other similar federal, state or local laws or ordinances and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Disability Access Laws”); provided, however, the costs of any such compliance, if required as a result of any changes to the, or new, Disability Access Laws after the Effective Date, will be the sole responsibility of Lessor.  Unless any such failure is the result of Lessor failing to pay for the cost of any Landlord Work related to the compliance with Disability Access Laws (in which case the indemnity contained herein will be of Lessee by Lessor), Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims and demands for loss or damage, including claims for discrimination, personal injury, monetary damage or injunctive relief arising out of or in connection with any failure or alleged failure of the Premises to comply with the Disability Access Laws, and, unless caused by the failure of Lessor to pay for Lessor’s Work, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional or consultants’ fees, paid or incurred by Lessor in connection with the defense of any such claims including, but not limited to, all costs for research regarding settlement or other preventive measures which Lessor may take prior to the filing of such action or to attempt to prevent the filing of such an action.

It is further agreed that any consent given to any assignment, hypothecation, transfer of this Lease or parting of possession, or to any sublease of said Premises or a portion thereof, shall not be construed as a consent to any other further assignment, hypothecation, transfer, parting of possession or subletting or as a waiver of Lessor’s right to object to any assignment, hypothecation, transfer parting of possession, or sublease to which Lessor’s consent in writing has not been obtained.  It is further agreed that Lessee will remain liable in the event of any assignment, mortgage or sublease for the payment of the rental hereunder and for the observance and performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained and on the part of Lessee to be observed and performed.  Any change in the present ownership or control of Lessee’s business, directly or indirectly, whether as a result of any sale of assets, transfer of stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this provision; provided however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no sale of assets, transfer of stock, merger or consolidation by Guarantor shall constitute an assignment hereunder.

in default beyond applicable cure periods.  Lessee hereby agrees to execute any instruments on a commercially reasonable form necessary or expedient to carry out the foregoing.

 

35.           Default and Remedies.  If Lessee shall fail to pay said rent or any part thereof or any other monies which under the provisions of the Lease Lessee shall be obligated to pay, on or before the dates the same have become due and payable, no notice being required, demand made, or forfeiture declared, and such non-payment shall continue for ten (10) days, or fail in any other respect faithfully to observe or perform any condition or covenant in this Lease contained and on Lessee’s part to be observed and performed, including Lessee’s failure to achieve the Golf Course Standard set forth in paragraph 8.a above or to submit the annual operational plans described in paragraph 9.a above for Lessor’s approval, and any such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days following written notice from the Lessor to Lessee (or such longer time as is reasonably necessary so long as Lessee has commenced and is diligently prosecuting the cure); or if Lessee shall become insolvent or be adjudicated bankrupt; or shall make any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall seek protection under any bankruptcy laws; or permit a lien to attach to the premises; or abandon the Premises; or suffer this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder to be taken under any mesne process or any writ of execution; or any other judicial order,  and any such event is not dismissed and cured with sixty (60) days, then and in any such event:

 

a.             Right of Re-Entry; Termination.  The Lessor may at once enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of whole, and upon or without such entry at Lessor’s option terminate this Lease, without service of notice of legal process, and thereupon take possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, and thereby become wholly vested with all right, title and interest of Lessee therein and may expel and remove from said Premises Lessee and/or those claiming under it, and their effects, all without service of notice or resort to any legal process and without being deemed guilty of any trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, and without prejudice to any other remedy or right of action which the Lessor may have for collection of arrears of rent for other or preceding breach of covenant by Lessee.  If this Lease or any short form thereof is recorded or filed of record in Hawaii, termination may be made effective by Lessor by mailing a written notice to Lessee or such termination and recording or filing an affidavit thereof.

 

b.             Summary Possession.  Whether or not Lessor shall have taken any action above permitted, Lessor may bring an action for summary possession in case of such default, and in any such action, service of prior notice or demand is hereby expressly waived.  Lessor may, at its option, assert its claim for unpaid rent in such action or may institute a separate action for the recovery of rent.

 

c.             Removal of Persons or Property.  In the event of such resumption of possession under this Lease, whether by summary proceedings or by any other means, Lessor, or any receiver appointed by a court having jurisdiction, may dispossess and remove all persons and property from the Premises, and any property so removed may be stored in any public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee, and Lessor shall not be responsible for the care or safekeeping thereof, and Lessee hereby waives any and all loss, destruction, and/or damages or injury which may be occasioned in the exercise of any of the aforesaid acts.

 

d.             Damages, Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs which may have been incurred by

 



 

Lessor as a result of any default of Lessee hereunder, including the expense of recovering possession.

 

e.             Right to Re-let.  Should Lessor elect to reenter for Lessee’s default, as provided hereinabove, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may, from time to time without terminating this Lease, and re-let said Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon each such re letting all rental received by Lessor from such re-letting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.  If such rentals received from such re-letting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Termination may, but need not necessarily, be made effective by the giving of written notice to Lessee of intention to end the term of this Lease, specifying a day not earlier than three (3) days thereafter, and upon the giving of such notice, the term of this Lease and all right, title and interest of Lessee hereunder shall expire as fully and completely on the day so specified as if that day were the date herein specifically fixed for the expiration of the term.  No re-entry or taking possession of said Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default.  Should Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for Lessee’s default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages it may incur by reason of such default, including the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, delinquent rent and other charges due through the date of termination and the discounted present value (computed at 8%) at the time of such termination of the rent and charges reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor.

 

36.           Remedies Cumulative.  The various rights, options, elections and remedies of Lessor contained in the Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them as exclusive of any of the other, or of any right or priority allowed by law.

 

37.           Waiver of Breach.  The waiver by the Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other terms, covenant or condition herein contained; that the acceptance of rent by the Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, or of the remedies of Lessor herein (including the remedy of forfeiture of this Lease); that no term, covenant, condition or remedy herein shall be deemed to be waived by Lessor unless such waiver be in writing by Lessor.

 

38.           Attorneys Fees.  If either party hereto institutes any action or proceeding in court to enforce any provision hereof or for damages or other relief by reason of any alleged breach of any provision hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the losing party all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.  If any litigation or legal expense incurred by either party hereto in connection with any litigation commenced by or against the other party

 



 

(other than condemnation proceedings) in which it shall without fault be made by a party, then it will be entitled to recover against the opposite party all of its costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

39.           Delinquent Payments.  If any payment or payments called for under this Lease is not paid on the date due, Lessor shall have the right, without waiving any breach or default by Lessee or any of its other rights herein, to demand and receive the unpaid sum together with the interest accrued thereon from the date of delinquency at the rate of one percent (1%) per month until paid.

 

40.           No Accord And Satisfaction.  No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of rents due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent be deemed and accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor’s rights to recover the balance of such rent or other amount or pursue any other remedy in this Lease.  In the event that the rent or any other monies which are due hereunder by Lessee are delinquent, Lessor may, upon the receipt of any payments, apply them to any account or period it shall determine in its discretion.

 

41.           Damage to Premises.  If there is a partial “material” or total destruction of the Premises and Lessor, in its sole discretion, elects not to rebuild or repair the same, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such destruction upon written notice from Lessor to Lessee of Lessor’s determination not to rebuild or repair, such notice to be given within thirty (30) days of the date of such destruction.  In the event of such termination, Lessee shall forthwith surrender the Premises and shall be relieved of all liability for any further rental and Lessor shall refund any unearned rent paid in advance by Lessee and shall be thereby released from any obligation or duty to Lessee.  Lessee hereby waives any and all claims for damage and shall not be entitled to any damages for any loss occasioned by any such injury to or destruction of said Premises or any of Lessee’s property.  As used herein, “material” partial destruction will mean destruction to a portion of the Premises which will, in the reasonable opinion of the parties, require 12 months or more to substantially complete the repair.

 

42.           Condemnation.  In the event the whole or any portion of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any duly constituted authority or any condemnation suit is instituted, Lessee will peaceably surrender and deliver up to Lessor possession of the portion of the Premises so taken or condemned and Rent shall be appropriately abated.  In the event of a condemnation of a nonmaterial part of the Premises, such partial condemnation shall not annul or void this Lease.  In the event of a condemnation of such part or such form, shape or reduced area as to render the Premises not effectively usable for the purpose for which the property is demised, or in the event of a condemnation of all of said Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date when the condemning authority has become entitled to, and does take actual possession of the property condemned.  In the event of any condemnation, it is understood and agreed that the Lessor shall be entitled to, and shall receive and retain, any award made as compensation for or in respect of the land, buildings, improvements and fixtures actually taken and also any award for or in respect of damages sustained to the land or portion of the buildings or other improvements and fixtures not taken by reason of the severance there from of the land and/or portion of building actually taken.

 

43.           Surrender Upon Termination.  At the expiration of the term or any extension thereof or any sooner termination of this Lease, Lessee shall quietly quit and

 



 

surrender the Premises to Lessor, without notice of any kind, notice being expressly waived, together with all improvements upon the Premises or belonging to Lessor, by whomsoever made, in good repair, order and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear.  Lessee’s obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of Lessee’s rights hereunder.

 

44.           Holding Over of Premises.  If upon termination of the Lease as herein provided, Lessee withholds possession of the Premises from Lessor from and after the date of such termination, the Lessor shall be entitled to monthly rent equal to 125% of the monthly rent specified in paragraph 4 of this Lease.  The provisions herein concerning Lessee’s increased liability in the event of wrongful withholding of the Premises from the Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Lessee of any covenant herein contained or of any of Lessor’s rights herein, and shall not prejudice any other remedy or right of action which the Lessor may have for collection of arrears of rent or for other or preceding breach of covenant by Lessee.  Any holding over after the expiration of the said term, or any extension or renewal thereof, with the written consent of the Lessor, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only, and shall otherwise be on the same terms and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable.

 

45.           Lessor’s Right to Assign and Transfer Security.  Lessor may, without consent of Lessee, sell, assign, mortgage, transfer or hypothecate all of its right, title and interest in this Lease, in the improvements constructed on the property demised hereunder, or its interest in the property of which said Premises is a portion, to the extent of its right, title, and interest therein.  In the event Lessor proposes to sell, assign, mortgage, transfer or hypothecate all or any portion of Lessor’s right, title or interest in this Lease and the prospective purchaser, assignee, mortgagee or other financial source requires verification of Lessee’s financial condition on the income and expense of Lessee’s obligations on the Premises, Lessee will furnish to Lessor, upon request, any and all financial statements or records reasonably necessary to verify such financial condition and income and expense.

 

46.           Lessor’s Failure to Perform.  Lessor shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required by it under this Lease unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.  If Lessor fails to cure any such default within the time periods so specified, Lessee may perform them on Lessor’s behalf and deduct the cost therefore from Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder.

 

47.           Time of Essence.  Time and exact performance are of the essence of this Lease and all parts and paragraphs thereof.

 

48.           Force Majeure.  In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.  It is understood, however, that this provision shall not

 



 

operate to excuse Lessee from the prompt payment of rents or any other payments required by the terms of the Lease.

 

49.           Notices.  Any notice from either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be given by delivering the same to such other party or by mailing the same by United States certified mail in an envelope with sufficient postage prepaid thereon addressed to such party at the addresses shown on page 1 of this Lease.  For the purpose of this paragraph, either party may change its address by notice to the other.

 

50.           Waiver of Jury Trial and Counterclaims.  Lessor and Lessee hereby waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either of the parties hereto against the other party on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of landlord and tenant, Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.  To facilitate the resolution of questions of possession, if Lessor commences any proceedings for summary possession, if for nonpayment of rent or for any other cause, Lessee will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceedings.  Lessee shall have the right to assert such claims in a separate action or actions brought by Lessee.

 

51.           All Agreements are Contained Herein; No Party Deemed Drafter.  This Lease contains all of the terms, covenants, conditions, stipulations, agreements and provisions agreed upon between the parties hereto in relation to the Premises and this Lease supersedes and cancels each and every other agreement, promise and/or negotiation between the parties with reference to the Premises.  Lessor and Lessee agree that neither party shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Lease and in the event this Lease is ever construed by a court of law, such court shall not construe this Lease against either party as the drafter of this Lease.

 

52.           No Increase of Lessee’s Estate.  Lessee hereby waives and relinquishes any and all rights given to a lessee under Chapter 516 of the Hawaii Revised Statues (1968), as amended from time to time, or any similar law which may be enacted at any time during the term giving Lessor the right to expand Lessee’s leasehold estate under this Lease, which Lessee would not have under the terms of this Lease in the absence of such chapter or such law, it being understood and agreed by and between Lessor and Lessee that the provisions of such chapter or such law shall not apply to this Lease.  Any attempt by Lessee or any person claiming by or through Lessee to expand its estate under this Lease pursuant to such chapter or such law shall be a breach of this Lease.

 

53.           Recordation.  This Lease shall not be recorded by Lessor or Lessee.  At the request of either party, a short form memorandum of this Lease sufficient to give notice of the leasehold estate hereby created shall be recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii.  Lessor shall prepare the short form memorandum of the Lease and Lessee shall execute and deliver the same to Lessor within seven (7) days of tender thereof by Lessor.

 

54.           Headings.  The paragraph headings are inserted merely for convenience and are not to be construed as part of this Lease or in any way affecting it.

 

55.           Severability.  If any provision of this Lease shall be found or held to be illegal, such illegality shall not affect the remainder of this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 



 

56.           Definitions.  Words in the singular or plural signify both the plural and singular; the use of any gender shall include all genders; and each of the terms “or” and “and” has the meaning of the other or both where the subject matters, sense and context require such construction.

 

57.           Matters Upon Lease Termination.

 

a.             Certain Prorations.

 

(i)            Lease Termination Prorations.  All real property taxes and utility charges for the Premises shall be prorated for periods prior to the Commencement Date and following the Termination Date based on the actual number of days in the respective billing periods when such dates occur and the actual number of days elapsed.  On the Termination Date, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor cash in the amount of all deposits received by Lessee for the use of the Premises for periods following the Termination Date.  Lessee shall reimburse Lessor each month for any gift cards issued by MLP, Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. or Lessee at any time prior to termination of the Lease (including prior to commencement of the Lease) and accepted for redemption by Lessor within fifteen (15) days following the last day of the month in which such gift certificate is accepted for redemption by Lessor.  Any payments received by Lessor each month with respect to the use of the Premises for periods following the Commencement Date and prior to the Termination Date shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee within fifteen (15) days following the last day of the month in which the payment is received; provided, however, that Lessor may offset from any such payments the outstanding amount of any gift certificates accepted for redemption by Lessor.

 

(ii)           Pro Shop Inventory.  Upon the termination of the Lease, the representatives of Lessor and Lessee shall prepare an inventory at the Golf Course (which inventory shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee) of (i) all of guests’ golf clubs and luggage checked or left in the care of the Golf Course by guests then or formerly at the Golf Course, (ii) parcels, laundry or other property of guests checked or left in the care of the Golf Course by guests then or formerly at the Golf Course, and (iii) all items contained in the Golf Course “lost and found”.  Lessor shall be responsible for all of such items listed in the inventory from and after the delivery of such items by Lessee to Lessor and shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessee harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lessee relating to the loss of or damage to such items listed in the inventory from and after their delivery to Lessor.  The provisions of this paragraph 57(a)(ii) shall survive termination of this Lease.

 

(iii)          Equipment Leases.  Upon the Termination Date, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to the extent assignable, to receive an assignment of Lessee’s rights under any of the equipment leases for golf course maintenance equipment, golf carts and related accessories and other personal property then subject to lease upon Lessor’s written agreement to assume Lessee’s obligations under such equipment leases after the Termination Date.  Lessee shall provide Lessor with complete copies of each such equipment lease not less than 60 days prior to the Termination Date and Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the Termination Date which, if any, of the equipment leases Lessor shall assume on the Termination Date and Lessee shall, to the extent assignable, assign those leases to Lessor

 



 

b.             Revenues and Expenses.

 

(1)           All other revenues and expenses for the Golf Course shall be allocated between Lessor and Lessee as provided herein, effective as of the end of the day night audit process, but no later than 5:00 a.m. Hawaiian Time, on the Termination Date (the “Cutoff Time”), determined in accordance with sound accounting principles, consistently applied.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease, Lessee shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time up to but not including the Cutoff Time, and Lessor shall be entitled to all revenue and be responsible for all expenses for the period of time from, after and including the Cutoff Time.

 

(2)           Lessor shall promptly pay and reimburse Lessee for the following:  (i) petty cash funds and house banks on hand at the Golf Course as of the Cutoff Time; (ii) guest ledger balance as of the Cutoff Time; (iii) unexpired portions of prepaid expenses for all contracts assumed by Lessor, if any, to include (but not limited to) deposits, dues and memberships, maintenance agreements, advertising contracts, licensing agreements and software support agreements; (iv) prepaid amounts of taxes and assessments; (v) prepaid amounts of city, county and state permit and license fees (if transferable) allocable to the period following the Cutoff Time and any deposits assumed by Lessor in connection with any such permits and licenses; (vi) for all contracts that are assumed by Landlord upon termination, security deposits paid by Lessee to outside vendors and suppliers to the Golf Course (provided such security deposits remain on deposit for the benefit of Lessor); and (vii) if and when received by Lessor, uncollected rents due from the Restaurant Lease, subleases and other occupancy agreements allocable to the period before the Cutoff Time.

 

c.             Reconciliation.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount that cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Termination Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimate of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration within ninety (90) days after Termination Date, or as soon thereafter as a precise amount can be ascertained.  Lessor shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such actual amount has been ascertained.  Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Lessor shall prepare a final proration statement which shall be subject to Lessee’s approval.  Upon Lessee’s acceptance and approval of any such final proration statement, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final and Lessee and Lessor shall each make any further adjustments required by such final proration statement.  Lessee shall be entitled to an accounting from Lessor with respect to any such revenue and expense amount, which is subject to allocation between Lessor and Lessee.

 

d.             Customer Relation Data.  At Lease termination, Lessee shall retain one (1) set of customer relationship management (CRM) data for the Golf Course.

 

e.             Pro-Shop Lease.  At Lease termination, provided such termination was not the result of an uncured breach or default of this Lease by Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall execute the pro shop lease attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

58.           Miscellaneous.  Any agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of this Lease in whole or in part unless such agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.  The laws of the State of Hawaii shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.  Any action under or related to this Lease shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Hawaii.  The

 



 

covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
